Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "*Note: Take it a step at a time
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "amount paid buying 24 pencils by the pack
\n" ); document.write( "2* (.80) = $1.60
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "amount paid buying 24 pencils buying them individually
\n" ); document.write( "24*.10 = $2.40
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "money saved
\n" ); document.write( "$2.40 - $1.60 = $0.80 or 80 cents
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
